Anton and Phil, Yes, there has been a lot of talk about engineering and shared information and the speculation that the next one would be called Z6, but what is new is the existence of a Z6 processor. These are more than just mock-ups or prototypes. That's the news. Have you seen any major announcements? They are officially quieter than a church mouse on this.
My guess is that they are just sitting on them until they feel they 'need' to announce them.
